Coffinworm Great Bringer of Night

Indianapolis' Coffinworm are an unholy combination of Deathspell Omega (evil high-end dissonance) and Eyehategod (don't-give-a -fuck bludgeoning). A blackened Unearthly Trance, perhaps? Bob Fouts of Gates of Slumber did the recording, and it kills. Guitars assault in swarms, while bass flows like lava. This is heavy; this is metal. - Cosmo Lee
